Local history

Miltitz, courtyard gate to the manor

Miltitz was first mentioned in 1186 as part of the name "Theodericus de Miltiz", which is probably the earliest known ancestor of the noble family of the same name , which comes from Miltitz. The place name appears in 1334 and 1466 with the spelling "Milticz" in the documents. To distinguish “ Miltitz b. Kamenz ”, a current district of Nebelschütz , the rural community was officially called“ Miltitz b. Meissen ”. The place name, originally old Sorbian "Miłotici", is derived from the locator name "Miłota" and means "settlement of the people of a Miłota".

Around the village of Miltitz, whose inhabitants earned their income from agriculture, there was a 374-hectare block and strip of land with manor blocks. The manorial rule in Miltitz was exercised by the owners of the local manor , in 1696 a share belonged to the Robschütz manor . For centuries, the administration of the place was the responsibility of the Meissen Hereditary Authority . In 1856 Miltitz belonged to the Meißen court office and then joined the Meißen district administration , from which the district of the same name emerged. On the basis of the rural community order of 1838 , Miltitz gained independence as a rural community, which has also included nearby Zwuschwitz since its foundation . Around 1900, around 156 hectares of land belonged to the Miltitz manor, including 18 hectares of forest and one hectare of vineyards near Winkwitz . In 1953 the LPG " August Bebel " was founded with 256 hectares of usable space. By 1969 it expanded by 130 hectares by joining the “Goldene Ähre” and “Grüner Weg” cooperatives.

The neighboring town of Roitzschen was incorporated into Miltitz in 1935 . Miltitz merged with Burkhardswalde-Munzig and Garsebach on March 1, 1994 to form the new municipality of Triebischtal. The former Miltitzer primary school on Talstrasse was the seat of the Triebischtal municipal administration. With the incorporation of Triebischtal on July 1, 2012, Miltitz is part of the municipality of Klipphausen.

In 2009 Miltitz was one of the locations for the film Hunter's Bride / Der Freischütz.

Culture and sights

Several buildings in the village are protected as cultural monuments (see Miltitz ).

Visitor mine "Kalkwerk Miltitz"

Corridor in the lime mine

Miltitz is located in an old mining area; In the immediate vicinity are Garsebach Switzerland, the world's largest pitch stone deposit , the Groitzsch lime works , the silver ore tunnels near Munzig and Weitzschen and the mouth of the Rothschönberger tunnel . Lime was probably extracted in a mine in Miltitz before 1400 . The dismantling was finally stopped in 1962. During the National Socialist era , concentration camp prisoners had to set up a gasoline plant in a disused tunnel. A memorial from 1946 in the cemetery at the Miltitz village church commemorates the 17 prisoners from Poland and the Soviet Union who died as a result of this forced labor . The Miltitz lime works has been a visitor mine since 2000 .

Village church

Miltitzer village church

A church in Miltitz was first mentioned in 1372. It was a parish church as early as 1500 and is the seat of the Miltitz-Heynitz parish until today. The neighboring Zwuschwitz was already a parish in the 16th century. Roitzschen has also been part of it since 1899. Since 1934, the church is Heynitzer their daughter church .

In its current form, it was built as a completely new building from 1738 and was consecrated on November 26, 1741. The altar of the previous building was integrated into the new church. It is a sandstone altar by the Meissen sculptor Melchior Kuntze from 1622. The altar contains depictions of the Last Supper, the Crucifixion, the Resurrection and the Ascension of Jesus, making the church particularly worth seeing. Double galleries with fields painted in 1968 run through the rectangular church hall. The new building also features a baroque wooden baptism and a high tower. The five grave slabs of the von Miltitz family on the south wall of the church were originally in the cemetery, then inside the church. When the current church was built, it was implemented.

The church has had an organ since 1780. Renewed in 1978, it is still there. By contrast, the old tower had to be torn down as early as 1815, after 75 years it had become unstable. A smaller, almost square tower on the south side of the sacred building replaced it in 1816, but was still the target of severe lightning strikes, most recently on May 6, 1981. The granite font currently in use goes back to a foundation from the time of the Second World War . From 1968 the inside of the church was renovated, and in 1979 the outside as well. Opposite the church is the former church school from 1886 with a classroom.

Sweet chestnut grove

Next to the Miltitzer church is one of the northernmost sweet chestnut groves in Europe. Some of the trees with their edible fruits that are native to the Mediterranean region are 100 years old. According to legend, the Meißner bishop Benno von Meißen created the grove. In fact, the grove, which is under nature protection, was probably created in the 16th century.

Manor house in the manor

The extensive former manor is located in the upper village. It was first mentioned in 1457 as the Ritterhof. Its builders were the Lords of Miltitz, whose ancestral home it is and to whom it was also subordinate until the 17th century. In 1551, an old manor manor appears, whose lords exercised inheritance and jurisdiction. Later owners were the lords of Luckowien (Luckawen) until 1710 and then the noble Heynitz family , including Carl Wilhelm Benno von Heynitz in the second half of the 18th century . Due to numerous additions and renovations, little was left of the original complex, including the eastern residential building, a coat of arms stone and two square arched portals.

Jahnbad

The Jahnbad is located in the Triebischtal, next to the former elementary school. The Miltitzer Workers' Gymnastics Club established it in 1933. A comprehensive reconstruction took place in 1993. Solar energy heats the water in the two swimming pools, which comes from the lime works. A campsite and sports facilities, including tennis courts, are located around the pool.

Furkert Bartsch Mill

Inside the Furkert-Bartsch-Mühle, 1982

The Furkert-Bartsch-Mühle has existed on the Triebisch since at least 1792. This year can be found on the door keystone of the old two-sided mill homestead with its half-timbered upper floor. Until 1852 the mill belonged to the Miltitzer manor. The current building was built in 1890 and was equipped with a Francis turbine and transmission drives in 1922 . The technology from the 1920s and 1930s was retained. The mill still works with water power today.

societies

The Sportgemeinschaft Miltitz is the local sports club. It was founded in 1948 with the two sections table tennis and bowling. Four years later they were connected to a local LPG , which resulted in the new name BSG Traktor Miltitz / Taubenheim . From 1955, the next carrier company was the local lime works, so the BSG was then called Aufbau Miltitz. A few months later the VEB Pappenwerk Munzig carrier company followed . From 1955 to 1989 the BSG started under the name Rotation Miltitz, after which it renamed itself again to SG Miltitz. In addition to the two founding departments, the club now includes volleyball, football and basketball, among others.
